Aus vs SL Live
Match Update - Australia beats Srilanka
The host Australia take on Sri Lanka in the 3rd match of CB Series. So far Australia is on the top of the points table with a win over India, whereas India is on 2nd position with a win over Srilanka. So Srilanka would be the most eager team here to register a win and match shoulders with the other two teams.
Srilankan team has seen major changes including change in captaincy, coach and administration. So a win is a must to create a kind of self belief in this reformed team. Malinga provides a lot of comfort to a captain, provided he gets the desired fielding arrangement. Jayawardene looked a bit haphazard in fielding arrangements in match against India at Perth.
Still the Perth wickets stays bouncy and helpful for the bowlers. Team winning the toss may be enticed to bowl first to extract the early help offered by pitch to the quickies. Spinners will certainly get help in the later stages of the game. We can expect similar pitch behaviour that we saw in India vs Srilanka match.
Jayawardene agreed to the fact that Australia has a very good batting lineup and they need a very firm plan to be the better team in this match. Srilanka has some fond memories of ODI cricket in Australia because last time when they visited here, they clinched the bilateral ODI series. Jayawardene knows that they need to go after the Australian bowling attack to put pressure from the word go.
A lot relies on the shoulders of Jayawardene, Dilshan and Sangakarra as far as the batting department is concerned. We can expect a close one between these two teams as we know the fighting spirit of Srilankans and "not to let go anything" kind of spirit of the home team.
